Today our staff met for our all-day all-staff planning meeting. I love these scheduled opportunities to get out of the rigor of the immediate needs and look ahead into the new year. We do some practical stuff like working through the calendar and talking about some of the big initiatives on the horizon, but the […]
In the spirit of Thanksgiving I’ve been reflecting a lot on what it means to be a generous leader. I admire leaders who seem to give themselves away repeatedly in spite of very busy lives. I marvel at how they do it all. As much as it frustrates me, I’m a default to ‘task‘ type […]
THIS Friday, November 20th is our next Cultivate Her event and I’m excited to announce our special guests for this month! We’ll be talking about what it means to be a “generous leader”. How can we give back, invest & encourage the people we lead? We’re fortunate to have some amazing folks joining us to […]
Are you thriving or just surviving? Are you really leading or are you just surviving each responsibility, meeting, conversation, or task that comes at you? Are you just reacting or are you leaning in? Are you really listening or are you just taking in facts and spitting out solutions? Are you dreaming or are you […]
One of my favorite things to do is to sit down with another woman over a cup of tea to learn more about her life, her story, her journey, her dreams. I’m always honored when someone just a bit younger asks to talk with me. It’s a treasure to share how God has worked in […]

Today was our second event for Cultivate Her and we had an amazing time! I’ve never seen so many ladies that eager to be up at 7AM!! Our topic for today was discovering your strengths (based upon Strengths Finder). As leaders, I believe it’s so critical that we do the tough work of understanding ourselves […]
What’s the biggest risk you’ve ever taken? I’ve never considered myself much of a risk-taker. I tend to be too calculated, too strategic, too thoughtful. However I’m beginning to rethink that. I think I tend to confuse spontaneity with risk-taking. In fact, I would venture to bet that we all have a tendency to make […]
Another great Catalyst Conference over. It always goes way too fast. I wish I could have connected with more friends. I wish I had more time to wander the halls. I wish I could capture some of the worship moments where I let go of all of the stresses and just connected with God. I […]
